Bob Mazzer: UndergroundReminds me of Walker Evans' 'Many Were Called', however, this series concentrates on the life and community within the transport system and stations.//Take photos of the temporal community within a transport system/vehicle rather than concentrating on the people/individuals and categorisation of these.

Henri Cartier-BressonLooking/concentrating on composition and geometrical incidents, the practice of the 'decisive moment' and the philosophy behind documentary photography.//Take photos with composition as priority and intuition as drive.

Dorothea LangeConventional documentation of a place and/or community. Black and white portraiture from a more feminine perspective (motherly?).//Keep in mind (if) gender comes off photographs.

Diane ArbusPhotographing unusual subjects. Aesthetically unflattering views/angles but the mere fact that they are photographed and chosen to be amongst other subjects (numerous subjects in New York) suggests their uniqueness and therefore beauty.//Photograph unusual scenes/people without trying to beatify them but rather put into practice the 'democratic camera'.

William EgglestonPrime example of documentary photography and a pioneer of the use of colour photography in art. Eggleston doesn't take more than one of photograph of the same thing/scene and saturates colours for (purely?) aesthetic reasons. Composition and the concentration on the camera's limited frame.//Take photographs not of the unusual but of the mundane - using colour film and how documenting/photographing using film and colour can/does affect the way these objects are seen and presented.

Clare StrandAlmost-polaroid-like-instant-images the use of black and white to present subjects as documents (forensic/official use) but having the 'crime scene' as being one of emotions. The use of paper framing - suggesting a sketchbook style and way of using of photographs.//Present work this way (see Francesca Woodman too!). Take photographs with flash and in black and white (digital:phone camera etc.)

Graciela IturbidePhotographing cultures - illustrating ideas about life and death. Portraiture using available light and a somehow poetic and truthful depiction of its subjects.//Use style and the way of incorporating a thing (in Iturbide's photos: animals) to suggest something - a subtle element that occurs throughout the whole series.

Olivia BeeCompare to Graciela Iturbide. Documents 21st century teen-age life through teen-age eyes. Use of grain and shaky camera to depict the pace of documented life and thoughts.//Take risks with technical stuff (shutter speed, aperture etc.), take photographs of everything with the intention of documenting (capturing the moment), for remembrance.

Daido MoriyamaUse of high contrast black and white to show subjects almost like plain text! Photographs city life - the 'circle' of life from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and then death.//Use of grain and manipulation of black and white (or even colour) images. Snapshot aesthetic.

Steve SchapiroUse of portrait orientation on more documentary-style subject matters. Use of balck and white and blur.//Experiment with blur to depict movement and abstract subjects.

Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil JeorgePhysically distorting prints that depicts picturesque views of the subject.//Experiment with distortion of prints (intentional or not).

Jenny SavilleGrotesque depiction of the human body.// Can be applied on portraiture by intentionally using harsh lighting and taking from unflattering angles. Experiment with tight framing and plain background.

Estella CanzianiStudy of fashion through drawings. Use of colour and the concentration on appearance and on objects over the sitter (unlike portraiture)and compare to 21st century fashion photographs/documentations.//Try anthropological approach on photographing fashion - emotionless.

Steve McCuryContemporary-digital-photography aesthetics and typical/conventional depiction of 3rd world countries and communities.//Go against this aesthetic and depict the same situations same as how the western world would be - without pity. Read Sontag's 'Reagrding The Pain Of Others'.
